General Yu looked at the map and carefully explained to Sun Qi and Jiang Muyuan: "I sent scouts into Nanling, and at the moment I only roughly figured out the situation of the anti-army garrisons in the front line, and further south, there is no news back.

Especially Nanling Mansion, which is almost in the southernmost part, the scouts can't get in, and I guess the first few sent out may have been folded in it. ”

The adjutant general stepped forward and reported the number of garrisons in the frontier towns, the specific terrain nearby, and the platoons of troops at several passes along the way.

It's just that the situation in the rear is really difficult to obtain.

Since Sun Qi invited Ying to come to Nanling, he also did some homework, at least the place names mentioned by General Yu and the adjutant general, he could quickly match the numbers, so as not to hear them in the clouds.

Yiping Tongzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "There was also news before, saying that the Seventh Highness was injured, and the injury may not be clear, and the Third Highness wants to take the Seventh Highness to get out smoothly, I'm afraid it will not be easy, but after the lower officials discussed, they thought that the two Highnesses should not fall into the hands of Sun Bi, otherwise Sun Bi should send a messenger to bargain." ”

Sun Qi looked annoyed, and scolded Sun Bi for being a rebellious minister and thief.

Jiang Muyuan looked at the map and asked everyone: "We sent the scouts to investigate the situation in Nanling, I think Sun Bi and Dong Zhiwang will not be arrested, they will also know about the situation of our army, and they should soon know that His Highness and I have arrived in the army." ”

Jiang Muyuan and Sun Qi came all the way, and they didn't think about hiding anything, everyone in Yiping Mansion knew that the two nobles had arrived, if there were people communicating with Nanling, it would not be strange to send the news out, and it would be impossible to prevent it.

General Yu bowed his head: "If they have news quickly, they will know tomorrow." ”

Jiang Muyuan is not afraid that Sun Bi will know, he hopes that the news can reach Nanling, Wu Ye and Yuan Er are still in Nanling, and when they hear the news, they will definitely contact him.

The scouts could not advance from Yiping Mansion to the depths of Nanling, but Wu Ye and Yuan Er were different, they were in Nanling a few months ago, and there would definitely be some news in their hands that they did not know in the army at this time.

The military situation was discussed until almost three watches, and then they dispersed.

Jiang Muyuan returned to the camp tent and did not rest immediately, but looked at the map - he also let Han Lei hang a picture in his tent.

The dilemma of Nanling still lies in the steep mountains and mountains, and it is muddy in the rainy season, so it is impossible to quickly pass through a large number of cavalry, unable to surprise everywhere, and quickly suppress several large cities.

If it is against a foreign enemy, it is natural that regardless of losses, fire attack and flooding, if it really reaches the Jedi, it will burn the entire Nanling clean with a fire to see who can survive whom.

But these means are not used at this time.

Nanling is the land of the imperial court, and the people are also the people of the imperial court, Sun Bi and Dong Zhiwang rebelled, and the common people have nothing to do with it.

Early the next morning, Jiang Muyuan and Sun Qi climbed the watchtower and overlooked the Nanling Tomb.

In the early morning and evening, the scenery was slightly different, General Yu pointed in a few directions, although he could not see the town that was only a few fingers away on the map, but for the inexperienced Sun Qi, it was a long experience.

Several people talked for a while, and then went down the watchtower in turn, Gu Yunqi walked at the back, his eyes were good, and he saw a person riding a horse from a distance.

The man slowed down when he was still a short distance from the camp, and identified himself to the soldiers guarding the camp: "I am working in the little grandfather's mansion. ”

With the token of the Ningguo Mansion in his hand, the soldiers looked for Han Lei, and Han Lei immediately led the person.

"Yesterday, my grandfather was still saying that in two or three days at most, you should be there." Cold Thunder Road.

The person who came was Yuan Er, he touched his chin and smiled.

Hearing that someone was looking for Jiang Muyuan with a token, Sun Qi followed and looked at it curiously: "Look at the eyes, but it seems to be a ......little familiar."

Jiang Muyuan said: "The people in my house, His Royal Highness has not seen all of them, I don't recognize them, some of them are familiar, they may have met them on the streets of Beijing." ”

Sun Qi listened to it, nodded, and said, "It's also a coincidence." ”

Yuan Er prepared a rhetoric.

The existence of the fifth master could not be exposed, and it was impossible for Yuan Er to let Sun Qi know that they had been eyeing Lao Guo Po and Sun Rui early, and before the situation happened, Jiang Muyuan had already stretched out his hand to Nanling, and this matter could not be publicized.

"The old lady of the family is seriously ill, the grace of the house, I went back to Yiping to visit last month, a few days ago, the little grandfather sent a letter, saying that he wanted to go to the army here to fight Nanling anti-thieves, lack of manpower, so he counted the days to report in the army." Yuan Er replied.

Sun Qi bowed his head: "Looking at your size, your kung fu is not bad." ”

Jiang Muyuan took over and said, "This kid has a lot of strength and is also agile, I'll transfer people here first, and look back to see where I can use them." ”

Sun Qi believed it, and did not follow Jiang Muyuan anymore, he still had to get close to the generals in the army, so he took the first step to leave.

When the people were far away, Jiang Muyuan asked Yuan Er to tell the news.

Yuan Er suppressed his voice and talked about the situation of these days.

After Sun Rui and Sun Zhen arrived at Nanling Mansion, they took the initiative to live in the Junwang Mansion, which was almost on the outskirts of the city, and the surroundings were empty, so Yuan Er was inconvenient to follow closely, so he still lived near the post house.

The officials who came to investigate the case in the capital all stayed in the post house, which was close to the government office, and if they followed them closely, they knew what Sun Rui had checked in the government office during the day.

It's just that what happened in the county king's mansion, they would inevitably be a step slower.

"At first, it was calm, Dong Zhiwang didn't stand up to the Third Highness, listening to the tone of the officials, although the progress of the case was not big, there was no resistance," Yuan Er said, "It's just that one day, His Royal Highness the Seventh had an accident in the County King's Mansion and fell off the cliff."

The trouble was quite serious, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Dynasty clamored to invite more doctors, and afterwards, more than a dozen doctors in the city were invited into the county king's mansion one after another.

The fifth master inquired through one of them, the seventh highness broke an arm, broke a leg, and injured his waist, let alone have to stay in bed for two or three months, the doctor had heard the seventh highness's personal entourage muttering, saying that there must be something strange on the cliff behind the county king's mansion, and there may be a secret that Sun Bi can't see in the mountains. ”

Jiang Muyuan raised his eyebrows, it seems that Sun Zhen was really injured, and the previous rumors were not groundless.

"Climbing the cliff, Sun Zhen patted his head to climb it?" Jiang Muyuan asked.

Yuan Er cleared his throat: "There are some sayings that Sun Bi led the Seventh Highness down to climb, and he wants to teach the Seventh Highness a lesson." ”

Jiang Muyuan sneered: "Give Sun Zhen a lesson? Is Sun Zhen's hand too long, or is Sun Rui's hand too long? ”
